Wacup was unable to find the nde.dll in the root-folder
« on: December 02, 2024, 05:52:05 PM »
Hello,

since I accidentally installed Wacup x64-bit, I can no longer start the x86-bit version.

It's irrelevant, if I choose traditional install mode or portable, it's always the same after the installation.
All I get are these errors: "wacup_update.dll could not be found" (when I want to start Wacup right after the installation)
and then "Wacup was unable to find the nde.dll in the root-folder" (everytime when I try to start Wacup after that).

Going back to Wacup x64-bit works, though.
I've also tried uninstalling everything, but sadly, to no avail.

Btw. ofc I have winamp5666_full_en-us_redux.exe right in the install-folder with me, when I try installing the x86-bit version.
I would stay with the x64-bit version, but there the autoplay-function is malfunctioning.

Thanks for reading!

Tina Fritz

The 2 should be able to run dual installed without issue if they were installed into separate folders unless you've managed to put them both into the same program folder.

The simplest thing to try would be to remove the wacup program folders (e.g. c:\program files\wacup & c:\program files (x86)\wacup) & then re-run the x86 installer.

Also what specifically is wrong with the autoplay especially if it's against any specific format(s)? As I'm not aware of / currently remembering anything obvious that'd prevent it from working as long as its been enabled.
